I did not realise that she would just continue to watch the outdoor scree which sets her face very passively. <BR/><BR/>I have worked on where all the flash buttons are on my camera since this shot and need to experiment a bit over this weekend.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-43940090444992162342009-01-30T21:43:00.000+11:002009-01-30T21:43:00.000+11:00To me this one is snapshotish.

I think I would have chosen the middle one of the not selected set but perhaps not cropping her arm so much ... the drink, the clothing tell their own story without as many distractions. Alternatively, as Peter suggests, experiment with fixing the faults in Photoshop.Joan Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16358008925558240778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-8655080299182802122009-01-30T21:19:00.000+11:002009-01-30T21:19:00.000+11:00I've just popped back for another look.I really li...I've just popped back for another look.<BR/><BR/>I really like the "pose" I have to say. I saw a shot on blogger the other day which had the subject in crisp focus, and the background with a heavy photoshop blur, I might have a play just for fun.bitingmidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12593806233011328620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-83824175394854911132009-01-30T18:08:00.000+11:002009-01-30T18:08:00.000+11:00I agree with Ann, I like the composition, but thi...I agree with Ann, I like the composition, but think it could have done without the chair.<BR/><BR/>A bit of flash maybe?<BR/><BR/>Ann, use the lowest F number, and as a generality, move closer with a wider angle lens.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Pbitingmidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12593806233011328620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-19412985516277447402009-01-30T14:03:00.000+11:002009-01-30T14:03:00.000+11:00I like the way you've positioned her, although the...I like the way you've positioned her, although the chair is distracting. Mind you, I think its an angle I use quite frequently. I don't mind it at all, its more interesting than the other three. I had the same problem last weekend blurring the background, I thought about going to Av as well but I don't know what setting to use to get the effect I am after. It blurs beautifully at the long end of the lens but not when I'm using a wider angle.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03182743312553270315noreply@blogger.com
